Knowth - Site 9 Only one original kerbstone remains at Site 9. The mound was about 13 meters in diameter, and was ploughed down to the level of the field. The chamber was destroyed, but 28 sockets were uncovered which show that it was cruciform in shape, and had a very long end recess, which contained a few cremations. The chamber was pretty big, measuring about 4 x 3.8 meters. Some loose stones, which may have been part of the corbelling, were found in the chamber. A sillstone divided chamber from the passage, which was almost 7 meters long. The passage is aligned due east, to the equinox sunrises, so perhaps the mound was a smaller, earlier version of Knowth east. Excavations uncovered a paved or cobbled area by Site 9, and underneath and predating the mound, a neolithic fireplace was discovered. 5 sherds of pottery and 15 flint scrapers were found around the fireplace. There were no other finds, and there is no art known from this site.
